Hello Cult Architects!
We're excited to share that we've launched a Public Test branch for Honey, I Joined A Cult here on Steam!
What is the Public Test branch?
You can opt in to switch to this branch to play a test build of the game. This build won't have been fully tested by our QA team yet, so be prepared for bugs!
A test branch allows us to react to your feedback and release hotfixes faster. It also gives us more time to focus on the next steps for the game, like the roadmap plans and the first big early access update!
How do I access this Public Test branch?
You'll need to 'opt in' to play on the test branch.
To do this, right-click the game in your Steam library...
On this menu, click 'Properties'
On this window, go to the 'BETAS' tab and choose 'public_test' from the 'Select beta you would like to opt into' dropdown menu and close the window.
Your game will then update in your Steam library and you should see 'public_test' next to the game name.
What if I want to opt out and go to the regular version?
If you'd like to go back to the regular version of the game and get updates once they are fully released, just go back to the BETAS tab in properties and select 'none' from that dropdown menu! Your game will update again and you will be switched back to the regular version of Honey, I Joined A Cult.
Before switching to the Public Test branch, we recommend backing up your save files (just in case!)
On your PC, go to this directory address: C:\Users\YOUR NAME HERE\AppData\Local\Honey_I_Joined_A_Cult
And then copy your .sav files to another location, for easy recovery should anything go wrong!
The first changes are available now on the Public Test branch. Here are the patch notes...

As with the main branch of the game, please continue to report any issues you experience (crashes, bugs, etc) in our Report A Problem forum, or to our team via email: [email protected]
Enjoy!
